PUNISHMENT FOR BRIBERY.

An Assemblymsn OF the Empire Stat.
Thinks Confiscation the Right Thing.
Assembly lyman Acc earthly, Of Syracuse, who
is q manufacturer, has given law q practical
stndy, and has ideas on that subject which
arc frequently expressed forcibly in eroupe
where puplic affairs are discussed. a =.
In talking about the Sharp trial Mr..
MCCARTHY said; aThere is growing convic-
tlon in my mind that the punishment for
bribery IS inadequate in that 1t does not seize
the plunder Now, take Jacob Sharp as an
example. His accumulation Of wealth at his
age could have only one object--to leave q
big property for his family. He was willing
to run the risk Of a year or two in prison and
q small fine to insure them great fortune.
Even If he serves his time i'll prison the money
will be theirs and his There will be no
special public condemnation Of them. The
public will hardly regard them as disgraced
by the old mans imprisonment. But, suppose
the law provided that for such a crime all
his plumber and all his property should be
confiscated. Do you think he would then
make any attempt to bride anybody? Not
much. There would be risk he would not
care to incur. While was abroad a few
years agoI was told Of a family of Americans
living IN Belgium III aftiuence. The father held
an Important financial trust. He deliberately
stole $3.50 600 under circumstances that made
the maximum punishment. for his crime a
years imprisonment in the penitentiary. He
was willing to serve that length Of time to
make such provision for his family for life.
OF course, in such cases if the money can be
identified it can be recovered But q shrewd
rascal will take care of that So think confis.
cation would be about the right thing"
Another man told Of u case that had come
to his knowledge. A firm had a bookkeeper
embezzle IS, 900 He had been working for
$3.50 year. He was sentenced to two years
imprisonment. The firm offered to petition
for his pardon if he would restore tho money,
The man told them he Thought 81, 500 a year
was better than $3.50, even il he was obliged
to spend the time in prison, and refused their
offer.-New York Tribune.

; Physician for y millionaire.

Since Phil Armour got his first twinge of
rheumatic pain his physician has had a very
rich thing of it, Every day for months, as
regular as everybody else in the Armour en-
ploy, DR.. Horsey has called around at the La
Sale street office to SEQ his rich patient. He
takes a seat and watches Armour at his work.
It isn't his invariable custom to interrupt him
ut his work. He often leaves without having
any interview ut all. II he wants to have a
talk they go into the "box" together, as tho
little private Office in that establishment is
called. This ono patient is said to be worth
$4,000 year to tho handsome doctor, not
an extravaganza figure, either, when it is re-
membered that he has dropped his general
practice for a month or more at u time, and
given his whole attention to this one big
patient. When Armour is ailing he wants to
get we'll in great hurry. He does not want
his doctor scattering. It Il good hound fee
will get all his timc, tue fee is ready. He
wants to get q doctor just as he'd get super
intendent for q packing house. He wants the
doctor to charge good fee, and, the fee being
paid there's the mischief topay if tho doc: or
doesn't do what he'1 set at work to do; r:a as
there'd be il the packing house superintendent
didn't do what he was hired for.-Chicaso

Tho WAYS Of Thieves.

Negroes have a certain way of stealing
dogs that never heard explained. They can
steal the most vicious kind Of brutes. never
believed that until a negro thief here named
Tom Goabout stole d ferocious mastif on a
bet with the owner, who was boasting that
nobody could get into his yard while the dog
was there A niger thief will steal clothes
all the time. II he fell into room full Of
silverware, he might take something, but
he'd hunt around and get clothes before he
left. He wants wonep's clothes especially,
and in one instance remember a colored
man was arrested at night with a stolen
hustle under his coat tails. Another fellow,
years ago, broke into house aud stole a pair
Of hoops, and when lie waN going down stairs
they fell from under his arm, and he tripped
ON them and went headforemost to the bot
tom and was arrested. The safe burglar who
was busy ut his work and forgot himself and
began whistling jig and brought the cops
on him was another sample Of 'chump:'
3There was IL story of q New York burglar
who broke into a house one Christmas Eve
and put his jimmy in little girls stocking,
and left his candle on the mantel and left tbs
house. don't know how true It is, but 1
heard it. The musical burglar who broke
into q musicians house and picked up a COR
net, and couldn't resist the temptation to
blow it once, and then had to jump through
a window, was another funny fellow" ~

New Form Of Building Association.


Quite recently there has come into exist
ence in this country a society which proposes
to unite the life insurance feature with the
cooperative practice Of tho building associa-
ton. III brief, its objects are that members.
can purchase homes by making monthly OF
quarterly payments for q term OF from five
to twenty years, payments being graded &C
cording to the age of the person when beconl-
ing member and the length Of time the pay
1nents are to run. Should member die be-
fore the full number Of installments are paid
the mortgage is Cancelled and the house be-
comes the property of the heirs, free and clear
of all claims in lieu of fixed amount of i'll
2surance money. In the plan OF this society
there are no assessments upon surviving men,
bers, the fund for the cancellation Of mort
cages at members death being created by the
regular amount of money each member is
paying for this insurance feature. a.
This society is thought by its originators to
be an improvement upon the building associa-
ton. Its plans are somewhat novel and
quite different III many respects from the
latter, But the objects to be gained are
similar in both, and a consideration Of one
makes comparison with the other necessary

A word about the only uwo5 coloLed
men who have ever been members Of sthe
United States Senate. The frssehe,
Revels, was man Of education and re-
tinement, exceedingly modest, aud IA
vorite among his associates. His adj
vent TO the Senate was an eccasiOn OF
great interest in Cong ress. and the gak
leries of the Senate were thronged .ey
people anxious to see him take the oath.
The scene was historic and will yet inspire
the brush Of some great colored artist.
Revels made but few speeches, but those
he did deliver showed careful prepare
ton and thorough understanding of the
subjects of which he treated. He shrank
from anything like ohtrusiveness, and he
went out of the Senate regretted by the
older members. He is now ct the head
of one Of the largest and most successful
colored schools in the south.
Blanche K. Bruce, the other colored
Senator, although not as well educated
as Revels, had no occasion to be ashamed
Of himself even in company of the mem
bers of that august body. His wife is q

A Typical Aase or Girl Exhausted Dy
Multiplicity of Studies.
DR.. Hammond in Popular Science Monthly.
Not very long ago lady OF this city
brought her little daughter, twelve years
of age, to see me professionally. The
child was on her way to school and had
with her satchel full of books. She was
pale, tall and thin. The muscles of her
face twitched cOnyulsively and she
could not keep her hands and feet still.
Sde was suffering from chores, or ST..
Vitus' dance, and. in addition, had almost
constant headache and other symptoms
of nervous arrangement. In the course
of my examination | asked her to empty
her satCheI of the books it contained, and
which, as she Informed NE, she had been
studying that morning and the night
before, This is the list:
l. An English grammar. =. A scholars
companion. 3. An arithmetic. +. A geo
graphy. 5. A history of the United States.
6. An elementary guide TO astronomy. I.
A temperance physiology and hygiene
(whatever that may be-. 8. A method of
learning French. 9. A French reading
book.
Nine in alI-nlne different subjects of
knowledge which that poor child was re-
CURED to study between the hours of
in the afternoon of one day and 9 in the
morning of the following day, Allowing
enc hour for dinner, half an hour for
breakfast, an hour for undressing at
night AM dressing in the morning, an
hour for going home and returning to
school and eight hours for sleep (and
less will not suffice for growing boy
or grit had better be nine or ten, and
we have SIX hours and half
left in which to study nine different
branches of learning. Now, suppose
either one of you, ladies and gentlemen,
should retire 10 some quiet nook, and,
with your welI-deveiOped and trained
brains and minds, should try to study
nine unfamiliar subjects Of knowledge in
SIX hours and half, would you think it
strange if at the end Of that time you
should somewhat mix matters, and mag
inc that Hong Kong is the name of a
lunar volcano; that the Continental Con-
gress is one of the parts Of speech, and
that the ductus COmmunis ChOledechus is
situated on PassamaquOddy cay? She
showed no such confusion Of ideas. She
had studied her lessons well, but she had
done SO at the expense of her brain sub
stance. In little while and English
grammar, Biographies and the temper
ance physiolOgies would have been like
the "subseQuent proceedings" IN Bill
Nye's p0em-they would have ''inter-
ested her no more" [ say that she had
learned her lessons at the expense of her
brain substance. This is no flower Of
speech, but a sober fact. a very simple
examination enabled me to satisfy myself
that she was living on her brain capital
instead of her brain income. Her eXpen-
ditures were greater than her receipts,
and brain bankruptcy was staring her in
the face.
